The East Cape Lighthouse

Hundreds were camped out on New Year’s Eve in hopes of seeing the “first light” of the new millennium. The remote East Cape Lighthouse is on the Eastern-most point on the main islands of New Zealand. It has fantastic views along with a long steep climb from the beach. The wind can be intense, but perfect for parasailing.
